Not so strange in my opinion. The framework also contains web-elements. It saves a lot of work to utilize web elements that are present by default on the system. Since IE is present by default on a Windows system, it makes sense to make use of it. I think almost all framework uses that idea.
It would be much better to move away from XP, since it is not safe at all anymore to use it. There are various bugs known for it (and on the blackmarket also some serious bugs can be bought) that will not be fixed anymore. For an Operating System it is old and has been supported all this time, which is quite unusual and for which Microsoft does not get enough respect in my opinion.
